Registration for the derby is from 4 to 11 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 23 at the Post home (793 Crescent Beach Dr., Eastsound). The cost is $50 per person; all parties on the boat must be registered.

First prize for the largest fish is $1,100. All those registered are eligible to participate in the door prize drawing Saturday night, after the final weigh-in of that day. All door prizes are donated by local businesses.

Food will be available all three days: burgers on Friday night, spaghetti dinner on Saturday night and pulled pork dinner on Sunday night.

“Bring the family and check out the potential winning fish,” say organizers.

Prizes for the winning fish will be awarded after the final weigh-in on Sunday.

All proceeds from the derby go towards supporting the Post’s ongoing local and veteran projects.
